Asking your servicer about MIP

Crossroads answer

Your servicer can tell you whether your FHA loan's annual premium will end and when. Ask in writing for the MIP cancellation date, your case number assignment date and your original loan-to-value. A written request for information gets a response under federal servicing rules.
